Stopping the squat/wallowy suspension!

[dlongmu]

OK, I know we can do the s13 coilover swap on the s12 using misc s13/14 parts - IS this the only option for stiff handling suspension, can KYB shocks and some hard springs work just as well? At the moment my car's lowered on springs but it's soft as sh*t, when the baby T2 kicks in the rear squats the arches right into the tyres. Also feels like crap when cornering.


Will even coilovers cure the soft suspension, or am I better to upgrade the ARB's, bushes etc to boot?

The springs i got from speedwaymotors.com 0675.500.1000 - EIBACH PROGRESSIVE PULL BAR SPRING, 6-3/4" rate 600lbs http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Eibach...rings,271.html But you'll need to get perches for the springs as they will be too short to run on their own the perches I got from daymotorsports I can't think of the part number off the top of my head right now.... but they are adj perches the spring set me back 126 bucks that includes shipping I just got them today actually. I ordered them on sat and shipped it ground.

Shipping might be a bit more for you since your overseas but these are the springs I'm running in the rear you'll need perches tho. Also some Ford E150 rear shocks will keep everything in place when the car is jacked up

what kit did you use, n where you source it s13eater? ive seen some whiteline gazelle gear n msw offers very limited bushes, damned pricey mind.

going to have to sort some limiting straps, spring fell out the back today, n what a pain its being to get it lined back up.. going for new hydraulic pas lines tomorrow!

rear trailing arm bushes are use from a z31 300zx, do not remove the sleeve of the old bushes though, you need them in, so burn the old ones out,they were from superflex ,the main subframe bushes are z31 too, but i got them out of a z31 subframe that i bought, theres a place overseas that do them, all anti roll bar bushes and drop link are universal, you just need to measure them , front tie rod bushes are listed as 280zx, hope this helps.
